Well if your Archos doesn't come through soon I have a spare :snow_laug

As for the screen I think it would be hard to tell the difference .. if it was a 42" lcd then fair enough but I can't see anything wrong with it and I'm a right fussy git when it comes to watching films.

Anyway, hope your Archos arrives soon

Thanks, hehe. How are you selling your 2nd Archos though, out of interest?

I sold one on Ebay for £350 with postage .. went within 24 hours.

The other one is still sitting here

How come Currys sent you two Archos PVPs? Did you order online? You must teach me your tricks.

If I could do it again I would .. believe me.

Had 2 delivered on 2 different days with the same packing and order number.
According the the courier only 1 has been delivered.

Im a bit puzzled myself .. should I or shouldn't I.

Which date did you order online and how long did it take for them to dispatch? I have been waiting since 12/12/2005.

Well, I gave into temptation and went in store to pick up a 560 with the idea of returning the unopened online one instore for a full refund (when it eventually arrives).
Only had it for an hour but i'm impressed so far. the screen is gorgeous and it feels really solid. it's large compared to a mp3 player, which is mostly what i want it for. But i also want to be able to download pictures from my camera and possibly upload files to a sony PSP's memory card...(got to try that yet). it comes with some nice bits and pieces, including a large remote for controlling it during playback, which is nice.
will play around some more and let you know my thoughts.
